❤️ Benefiting OVC Kenya

Proceeds from this event go to OVC Kenya, a program that provides sustainable support and promotes long-term relationships with vulnerable children in Kenya by partnering with local churches to provide physical, academic and relational support to children in need. Children are provided with an education and the opportunity to develop life skills and grow mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The goal is to break the cycle of poverty within these communities.
